SGLT

SGLT (Sodium-dependent glucose cotransporters) are a family of glucose transporter found in the intestinal mucosa (enterocytes) of the small intestine (SGLT1) and the proximal tubule of the nephron (SGLT2 in PCT and SGLT1 in PST). SGLT contribute torenal glucose reabsorption. In the kidneys, 100% of the filtered glucose in the glomerulus has to be reabsorbed along the nephron (98% in PCT, via SGLT2). In case of too high plasma glucose concentration (hyperglycemia), glucose is excreted in urine (glucosuria); because SGLT are saturated with the filtered monosaccharide. Glucose is never secreted by the nephron. There are two most well known members of SGLT family are SGLT1 and SGLT2, which are members of the SLC5A gene family. Inhibition of SGLT2 leads to a reduction in blood glucose levels. Therefore, SGLT2 inhibitors have potential use in the treatment of type II diabetes.

Ertugliflozin (PF-04971729) L-pyroglutamic acid is a potent, selective and orally active inhibitor of the sodium-dependent glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2), with an IC50 of 0.877 nM for h-SGLT2[1]. A drug for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus[2].

Dapagliflozin (2S)-1,2-propanediol, hydrate is the S-enantiomer of Dapagliflozin 1,2-propanediol, hydrate. Dapagliflozin inhibits sodium/glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2), which results in excretion of glucose into the urine.
